    Sorry if I can’t post this.

    Next 5 games all look really tough. Another 3 away days to make it 6 in the last 9 games. If we get 7 points it keeps you on 2 PPG I’d be delighted with 7/8 points from them 5 games.

    Interested to see peoples thoughts on the matter because I’ve seen some comments on social media that are saying 5 wins and this will show if we’re good or not and others saying they don’t think we will win any!

    Would snap your had off for 7 points. Keeps us ticking over, Coventry always start slow and look like they have turned a corner, Millwall away is never easy and whoever finishes above Sheff Utd is going up automatically imo.

    I don't think social media holds much sway on here mate tbh, it's your opinion that counts.

    Personally I think all those teams will be thinking their game, against us, will be tough.

    No one scares me at the moment, I think we'll do fine in those games.

    Not been very impressed with Sheffield United. Defensively very solid. I like their back line. But struggle to score goals.

    The tough games they’ve had they’ve dropped points imo

    Still think they will come good. If we are above them at the end of the season then I'm happy.

    Believe we’ll get 8 points from those games. 2 wins, 2 draws and a defeat

    Feels like we are playing so many games away from home, the back end of the season is going to be all home games.

    Teams will be worried about playing us as we are very well set up, hard to break down and can be very dangerous going forward.

    7 or 8 points from these 5 would be very good going

    Win on Weds then that sets us up nicely for Coventry whom we owe a defeat to. Get 6 from 2 games and it takes a bit of the pressure off the next 3.
    No reason why we can't beat Millwall, but a point would be good. Sheff Utd tricky, but beat WBA and it's a free hit

    10 points would be spiffing.

    Another 3 games in 6 days, the fixtures are trying to crucify us. Bloody Sky coverage.

    Feels like it, but after these next 2 games we head into the international break having played 15 - 7 at home, 8 away

    Aye WBA on the Tues to Sheff Utd on the Friday is a tough one. Let's hope it's another 4 points like the last Tues/Fri sequence we had

    I think that there is anywhere from 7 to 12 points in there somewhere. Trouble is there is a lot of away games which we seem to be having a lot of them lately which if we keep picking up point may well serve us very well a bit further down the line.

    That run of fixtures is as hard as it gets in this league. Would take 7 points now.

    That's true and it's good we have a bit of a buffer.

    Having said that our last five matches look like the perfect run in ...

    ... three at home and two away games with teams who'll probably be mid table imo.

    I just hope QPR don't need a point in the last game.

    Depends on how we get on without Jobe n possibly Rigg. But I still fancy 10-13 points from those games.
